Yeah, ok.. that's why the joke:
"There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't"
makes sense now.
Although this is a most riveting conversation about mathmatics (on a music forum ) - what was the original question "42" about ...??

? OK ?! ..

Ugh I hate conversions. Binary's good on its own, but too many of em can give you a headache.

42 is the answer to everything.
What do you want? 42.
Who's your daddy? 42.
What the fck? 42.
You get the drift.

I think you got the drift, ZXYZ.

Sentient, I still stand by my explanation

010101 base two = 42

Actually, Howlin', you got it backward.

S.P.

Don't think I like gettin' it backwards!

(but I must concede that you are correct!)

I took a course on programming the N.C.R. 500 (big as a house and dumb as a brick) computer back in 68. I always thought that the reason that I did so poorly was due to the fact that I cut so many classes, but ,thanks to your acute observation of my dyslexic inclinations, I realize the true error of my ways! (no wonder that when I tried to play "96 tears", it came out "Come On To Me")

I kinda like this thread, as strange as it is. A learning experience to be sure.

Dumb ass ol' Howlin'

I used to hitchike alot in the 70s.. I thumbed a back from a concert once or twice, and another time a gay guy picked me up once who pinched my wiener..
(is this thread getting any weirder now?)

ROFL.
No comment.

Damn ZXYZ!
An experience like that is enough to get any body's Cartesian co ordinance out of the proper frame of reference!

A what where? who Huh? Nah . In my life I've seen alot worse. Thats a minor thing. My frame of reference is still as disjointed as it always was. Nice blurry bliss.. wonderful..

What the hell thread am I on anymore?? (I know I've too much libations now) (devulging stories like that) Goota go beddy now. T-giving in the a.m . preperations. Gotta help wife... bye bye,,, Y'all have a good turkey-day..
